Category 1homework has been administered electronically and as Mastery-based, while Category 2remained traditional. A concept inventory developed is used to assess Category 1 leveloutcomes. Results are compared between Fall 2019 and 2020. Results indicate statisticallyinsignificant differences due to small class size, but educationally significant results.

We surveyedour industry advisory board for areas needing improvement in recent graduates, as well as MEalumni for their suggestions for topics they wish they had learned in school. Lastly, as we startedoffering badges, we also surveyed the participating learners for other topics of potential interestto them.Within the department, the implementation of the badges has gone through three distinctphases. In the following we will discuss each distinct phase of our digital badging initiative: (1)Phase I (Fall 2018 and Spring 2019); (2) Phase II (Fall 2019 and Spring 2020); and (3

Programming assignments using robotics kits wereincorporated into one week’s schedule but was not implemented due to Covid-19. Students’performance for this semester is compared to historic performance in the figure below. As can be seenfrom the figure, the performance of students in this course far exceeded historic performance. In 2019-2020 year, due to Covid-19, some grades were listed as P as per MSU policy. These grades are countedtowards C, the least grade for the course needed to progress in the program. Other grades during thisyear included 4 NC (no

Participants in the face-to-face Fall 2019 (n = 104) course completed aquestionnaire that evaluated specific engagement constructs. The completed questionnaires wereevaluated using descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Data from the Fall 2020 (n = 64) coursewere evaluated using the same assessment methodology.

the overall video views occurredprior to the switch and only 13% occurred after the switch. For the Introduction to ComputerScience course, all students viewed at least one video with an average of 13.3 views per student.The number of videos viewed per student after the switch to online showed a slight increaserelative to the fall 2019. In both classes, students reported only watching videos on topics thatthey found most difficult. Videos on more fundamental or more difficult topics had higherviewership.

-arounds. Thepurpose in sharing this experience is to inform other instructors of how easy this is to implementin these two solid mechanics courses and to inspire other instructors to create their own teachingtools. Because solid modeling is almost universally being taught to engineers in lieu of thetraditional drafting and 2D CAD and because 3D printers are common in maker-spaces anddesign labs, creating these or similar learning tools is easily done by instructors or students aspart of a class project. These pass-arounds and others like it can be used instead of expensiveinstructional aids from commercial vendors.II.

first introduced in the Fall 2019 offering of themanufacturing course [3]. In Fall 2020, improvements were made to further develop the module.For example, the amount of class-time devoted to the activities was adjusted, and more guidancewas given for the economic analysis portion of the mini-project. The effectiveness of the modulein achieving the five learning objectives was assessed for the first time in Fall 2020. This paperwill describe the revised module and present the assessment results.Description of Polymer Processing ModuleThe module activities include an Injection Molding Lab, Question Formulation Technique(QFT), Jigsaw, and Business Proposal Mini-Project. These activities took place over two 2-hourlab sessions.The first session was
